Three weeks ago, colleague of the Manchester Evening News Will Hayward - WalesOnline's welsh affairs editor - needed to move out of his house for a week.
He had builders in fixing a series of issues and needed to temporarily re-located. He had mates who would have happily put him up, but he couldn't take up their offers - as they all have dogs... and he has a severe allergy.
Will's family lives miles away, so that wasn't an option work-wise. Given that he needed somewhere to sleep, it made sense for him to try a cheap option, WalesOnline reports.

So after perusing a few price comparison sites, Will discovered the cheapest option in Cardiff was the Zip hotel on Ipswich Road, hidden behind the David Lloyd Club on a patch of land between Newport Road and the A48.
The price varied by night. Midweek, you'd be paying £25 a night, while Saturdays are £35.
Here, Will writes about his somewhere eventful experience...
On this industrial estate just off Newport Road, the hotel is behind a barrier next to the posh David Lloyd Club so you need to drive past all the Land Rovers and BMWs on your way in. The outside is pleasant enough and you are actually surrounded by a real hidden Cardiff gem: the Howardian Nature Reserve. If you haven't been there it is an absolute treat. Sandwiched between main roads it has ponds, woodland and I have seen more slowworms there than people. It is lush.
As you walk into the Zip you may do a double-take. You automatically look around for reception but all you can see is a bar. Turns out the bar and the reception are the same thing. Obviously other people have had this issue as there is a giant sign on the wall behind saying CHECK IN
